Tragic moment pastor Dr David Jeremiah’s son was found dead in a swimming pool.

he is on Sunday,” Stover says.

Although his preaching is heard in almost every country of the world and in 16 languages, he cherishes being pastor of Shadow Mountain.

“I have a little saying that I’ve kept on my desk and it goes like this: ‘The light that shines the farthest has to shine the brightest at home.’ And we have always made that a priority. I go away every year for six weeks at the end of August, but other than that, I hardly ever am away. I don’t like being away from my church. I’d rather preach at Shadow Mountain than anywhere else in the world,” he says.

“Jesus said, ‘I will build My church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.’ I believe that the blessing is in the church and that the blessing can be extended to what I do with radio and television, but it can’t be replaced by it. The church is the core and the church is what God has His hand on.”

When God called Jeremiah to the ministry all those years ago, he was sad to give up his dream of a career in radio. But now looking back, he says: “God didn’t call me to preach to take away my dream, He called me to preach because my dream was too small. And what God has done through radio in my life is way greater than anything I could have achieved if I had kept following my own plan.”
